"Promoting childcare is unproductive insanity",
by Bernard Gaynor, 22-July-2014 |
"Childcare, by its very nature, is
inefficient. And a reliance on childcare actually subverts parental care,
which is the most productive thing that anyone can do to raise good citizens
and build a sustainable society.

"Promoting childcare is unproductive insanity",
by Bernard Gaynor, 22-July-2014 |
Getting mothers into the workforce by
subsidising someone else to look after their children is simply a drain on
society. It’s an exercise in futility. Once you take out taxes, pay for the
bureaucracy and wade through the regulations, the mother’s ‘productivity’
has already been used. There is not going to be much leftover to pay for the
childcare worker employed to do the mother’s primary job. That means quality
is necessarily sacrificed to make ends meet.
And this is exactly what happens with childcare. The child is placed in a
situation where they have less attention from the ‘carer’ because her time
is split among many more children. And the ‘carer’ does not have the same
knowledge of that child’s needs, talents, requirements or personality. The
childcare worker might be brilliant and have all best intentions in the
world. But she will never be a mother to someone else’s child.

...state-subsidised childcare does not help society become more productive.
In fact, it promotes the most inefficient form of care possible and lumps
the bill home to taxpayers.

Did this (government) report just note that
caring for children was unproductive because it took women out of the
workforce?
Well, yes, it did. It stated that productivity is lost when grandmothers
look after their grandchildren. Obviously, it must also then be unproductive
if mothers look after their children too. And going by that logic, the most
productive state possible would be one in which no one cared for children
and all the adults were at work, being ‘productive’. There’s no need for
childcare workers at all.
